This is an oversized pamphlet (about 8 x 11) containing 16 pages. The story is The Crab and the Fox.The story is apparently Perry #116. When a crab came up from the sea and crawled about on the shore he was seized upon by an unusually hungry fox; which caused him to reflect that this was what he deserved for his folly in leaving his native element and trying to live on the land. The art is simple. If I understand this version's presentation of the story, the key image might be the third to last: a surprised crab runs into a fox on the hillside. The last page seems to give some background on Aesop. This set seems to contain four, and then there are two other similar booklets. I have the four, but of the added pair, I have The Father's Dilemma but am missing The Woodchopper and Hermes.
